Talk:.348 Winchester

.500 Linebaugh
According to the page on the .500 Linebaugh, "The cartridge case itself was designed by cutting off the .348 Winchester case to 1.405 in (35.7 mm), turning the rim to a diameter of .610 in (15.5 mm) and opening the case mouth to accept a .510 caliber (12.9 mm) bullet.

It was when the supply of .348 Winchester cases started running out that John Linebaugh began working on the .475 Linebaugh, which could be formed from the more available .45-70 Government cases. When the Winchester Model 1871 was reintroduced in the .348 Winchester, the ability to form .500 Linebaugh cases became again feasible.[1] Today, Starline and Buffalo Bore offer .500 Linebaugh cases which are not dependent on the supply of .348 Winchester cases."

This doesn't jibe with what it says in this article, and at the very least it ought to be mentioned alongside the other cases based on the .348, yes?.45Colt 02:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
